1/ Bitcoin’s earning capacity is broken. Fragmented across protocols, seasonal at best, and driven by fleeting incentives. Starknet fixes that, becoming Bitcoin’s sustainable DeFi layer, powered by dual staking and real yield 🧵

2/ BTC yield today depends on temporary token rewards. When incentives dry up, users migrate; bridging, relearning, and trusting new contracts each time. That’s not sustainable. Bitcoin deserves a home where yield isn’t seasonal, but evergreen This is where Starknet comes in.

3/ Starknet fixes this by embedding BTC into its core, adapting: > Its consensus to Bitcoin, launching the first dual-staked Rollup (secured by both STRK & BTC) > Its entire ecosystem to Bitcoin economic activity From products to consensus, everything is aligning with Bitcoin.

4/ To start the Bitcoin economy, the Starknet Foundation launched BTCFi Season. It may look like yet another short-term yield program attracting mercenary capital. In reality, it guides users toward long-term value creation and sustainable participation.

5/ Sustainable Bitcoin Finance isn’t about token emissions. It’s about genuine economic activity: yield born from trading fees on Ekubo, lending interest on Vesu, and funding flows on Extended. That’s organic yield. That’s what lasts.

6/ This is why the incentives flow to where real activity happens, where Bitcoin actually generates revenue and tangible value for users: > DEX liquidity > Lending and borrowing markets > Bitcoin-backed stablecoins

7/ BTCFi incentives are here to lay the foundation and help the market start generating organic yield. Once that happens, Starknet becomes Bitcoin’s DeFi domain, where real activity fuels growth. So this time, incentives are used as catalysts, not crutches.

8/ And the ecosystem is already taking shape: > @Re7Capital brings institutional-grade strategies onchain, offering mRe7yield (stablecoin yield) and mRe7BTC (BTC yield), both tokenized via @MidasRWA > @endurfi unlocks Bitcoin Liquid staking > @vesuxyz enables BTC-backed borrowing and looping strategies > @extendedapp, @avnu_fi, and @EkuboProtocol handle trading & liquidity > @uncapfinance and @OpusMoney let users borrow Starknet-native stablecoins against BTC > @0DFinance, @trovesfi , and Starknet Earn make accessing advanced DeFi strategies as simple as a click And much more are coming.
